QUICK GUIDE TO CALCULATING FLORALS

VASE INSERTS:

· Add price of flowers by the bundle (It usually takes around 21 stems of flowers to make a vase insert).

· Rule of Thumb when mixing several flowers: Usually, you will want to help the customer pick something tall, like a bundle of stock, a large head flower, like a hydrangea, small head flower, like a closed head rose.

· Add 20% to the price for labor.

· Note:

o $19.99 ( can ONLY be one type of $2.50 bush flower x 3 bushes)

o $24.99 (is usually a couple of less expensive flowers mixed)

· Pull all of the flowers needed for the order to put with the order in the Design Room.

· Make sure to make DETAILED notes/special instructions. For example, if customer wants 3 sided/book end arrangement. If we have something in the store close to what the customer likes, take a picture of it and note on the order to refer to the picture.

SADDLES & BASKETS:

· Add price of flowers (This will depend on the size of the saddle. Have the customer show you one we have in the store that is close to the size they want to get a frame of reference).

· Rule of Thumb when mixing several flowers: Choose three types of flowers with varying heights.

· Add 20% to the price for labor.

· Note:

o Baby saddles can be $19.99, BUT they are really small.

o Most saddles are going to start at $29.99 and go up.

· Pull all of the flowers needed for the order to put with the order in the Design Room.

· Make sure to make DETAILED notes/special instructions. For example, if customer wants bottom of saddle legs trimmed. If we have something in the store close to what the customer likes, take a picture of it and note on the order to refer to the picture.

WREATH:

· Two sizes:

o 18”grapevine base=$6.00

o 24” grapevine base=$9.00

· Add price of flowers by the bunch (even if we don’t use the whole bunch, we still have to cut the bunch apart—we will adjust the price if we have usable pieces left, but it is best to include the whole bunch in the price).

· Add 20% to the price for labor.

· Pull all flowers needed for the order to put with the order in the Design Room.
